Pinky Promise aims to transform women's healthcare in India

Pinky Promise aims to transform women's healthcare in India and make it judgment-free and accessible. We believe that technology can play a large, enabling role in helping women around the world to access scientific and instant reproductive healthcare.​​

Pinky Promise foundation team

Our founding team has more than 24 years of experience in healthcare collectively and together, we have worked to create the Pinky Promise app featuring a chatbot that walks a user from a symptom - be it painful periods, fertility problems, abnormal discharge etc. - all the way to an answer for that symptom. The chatbot was built using the best global clinical protocols and research from highly rated medical journals.​

Pinky Promise- App & Chat Support

Our app also has chatrooms where women can connect anonymously with thousands of women on issues like pregnancy, periods, fertility etc. Finally, we sell wellness products that cater to functional needs of women and make them feel empowered.​​

Pinky Promise survivors of polycystic ovaries

More importantly, we built Pinky Promise because we “get it”. As women who have grown up experiencing this, we understand how traumatising it could be to sit in a queue waiting for an abdominal scan, or to experience irregular periods, or be worried about one’s vaginal discharge. This is why we built an incredibly judgement-free and reassuring platform to give you the care that you deserve!​​
